Extract Action Items
Section titled “Extract Action Items”/extract-tasks (Extract Action Items) reads the prose you selected — meeting notes, a call summary, a paragraph of decisions — and proposes a list of tasks from it.
- Select the text (or leave the cursor in the section you want read)
- Run
/extract-tasksfrom the slash menu - Review the proposed task lines in the AI diff preview
- Accept to insert them, or Reject to discard
Nothing is written to the document until you accept. The extracted lines are ordinary task lines, so date and priority fields can be added afterwards the usual way — see Tasks.
